Volume 1, Chapter 56: According to the Protocol of the Crown Princess

The Blood Vulture Old Monster, whose Blood Fiend Handprint had just been shattered by Abbess Ji, was now struck with utter terror at the white-robed old man's astonishing display of power, letting out an involuntary cry of alarm.

Ji Longjun felt cold sweat erupting across his entire back in endless waves; his heart turned freezing cold.

After a moment of silence, Yan Motian looked at Ling Feng and said, "In this catastrophe, I hope you do not harbor any other thoughts!"

"Mo Cunxi, you had such a wonderful hand of cards, yet you ruined it yourself. There is nothing I can do. Now Yuhao holds a grudge against me too, and that is entirely thanks to you. What else do you expect from me?" Zhou Yuqing glared at her.

"Of course, this concerns the life and death of your chieftain. Is that not important enough?" Ji Kai said solemnly.

At this thought, An Xia felt a sweetness rise in her throat, and a mouthful of sweet, bloody fluid welled up to her lips. Realizing it was blood, she immediately took her own pulse and found it was indeed extreme agitation causing internal heat, forcing her to slowly calm her emotions.

"Compared to your father's affairs, your own personal experience makes it much easier to understand. I won't say any more."

They had no choice but to build houses and villages with their own hands, forming scattered settlements before clearing land, farming, raising livestock, and searching for any means to sustain themselves.

"Why... do you know there are corpses buried here?" Originally, Yu Ling only knew that there was something strange about this land, though she could not put her finger on what was odd about it. But ever since Team Li and the others arrived and accurately found a spot to start digging, she had developed a rough guess.

Until the very last defensive spiritual talisman vanished, Gu Jinxi finally put away all the jade plaques, turned around, and walked toward the Jing family residence.

Yet when she thought of Ou Ting's identity, and then of the things he had done, she inexplicably felt that this man was somewhat childish, and she even felt a slight urge to smile.

However, of course things could not go on like this forever. Roland was the most innocent person in this whole affair; he was young, healthy, and from a normal background. If he chose to retreat while he was still ahead, he still had the possibility of a bright future.

Just as she stepped into the bathroom, the water pressure instantly surged, and the streams of water spraying from the showerhead fell upon her body, sending waves of dense, stinging pain coursing through her.

Perhaps he had been able to sense for a long time that Huo Ning's feelings for Ye Jingheng were extraordinary. Yet he had continued to deceive himself, making excuses for her. Now that the last shred of pretense had been torn away, he finally had to admit the truth: she truly had no feelings for him, and the person she loved was indeed Ye Jingheng.

Wu Zhifei gave a silent military salute, then firmly grasped Cloud Tiger's hand... A thousand unspoken words between comrades were all contained within that silent gaze.

Now, facing the scene before her, she felt somewhat at a loss and had no time to sort through her emotions, standing there dumbfounded.

Emerging from inside, Zhang Jialiang saw Huang Lu sitting on the couch outside smoking. "I have to rush back for something. Help me buy a plane ticket," Zhang Jialiang said directly to Huang Lu.

This was something Kanou Akihiro only realized after observing Kaneki Ken's transformation. Later, he used the exact same method to create the SS-rate ghoul known as the Owl.

Xiao Qian's hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn open, his belt was nowhere to be found, one of his shoes was missing, and he stared at the ceiling with utter despair in his eyes.

Qiao An leaned against Mu Jingchen's embrace, her face still burning with a sharp pain—Li Qinghuan's slap had not held back an ounce of force.

"Then how can you see them? Could it be... do you have the legendary Yin-Yang eyes or something?" Wang Tianqin stared at her with the curiosity of an inquisitive child, as if she would keep asking until Mu Jun gave her a clear explanation.

That old bastard was nothing but a troublemaker who had plunged the Shushan Sect into utter chaos, causing countless casualties among elite experts. Now he had completely degenerated into a running dog of the Blood Spirit Sect, serving the Blood Spirit Old Ancestor heart and soul.

Mu Yunxing also sensed something; she felt Mu Jun's aura clashing with another hostile entity's aura. Recalling what Mu Jun had said before leaving, she roughly understood what was happening.

However, Ge Yu only tested the waters; since approach remained impossible, he had no choice but to target the suspended iron chains.

"No matter. Fortunately, this poor Taoist has not been in seclusion for long; I can simply return to it later. Let us save your lives first." Daoist Huang Ye waved his hand, then pulled the Xuanyuan Sword straight from his back.

The next day, Ye Yu and the five of them woke up, and looking at the chaotic room, they could not help but shake their heads with a helpless smile. Through their joint efforts, the room was finally cleaned up. Afterward, everyone except Ye Yu dragged their exhausted bodies to the dining hall for breakfast.

Early that morning, she received a call from Lu Cheng, inviting her to meet at the cafe downstairs from Lu Cheng's building around noon.

Upon hearing them threaten to call the police, the store owner stopped trying to chase them away. He simply sat calmly inside the shop, waiting for the police to arrive.

Suddenly, Li Jinshuo took a step back and stumbled backward, the watery ripples in front of him shattering instantly while the protective talisman hanging around his neck spontaneously burst into flames.

"Can we add one more condition?" Han Qiming, who had remained silent for a long time, finally spoke up to voice his opinion.

At the same time, they grew even more curious, eager to witness what kind of formidable moves Lin Feng's mastered alternate dimension possessed.

Chen Rong withdrew her gaze and sneered inwardly: No wonder Chen Yuan was in such a panic; it turns out that Prince Nanyang also had a stake in that batch of cargo.

This specific optical-beam technique had been specially developed by Alien Empera to suppress the Ultras of the Land of Light.

Hearing this, the scholar-official could not help being slightly stunned, then let out a few dry laughs. He thought to himself: I had long heard that this Wang Qilang's biological uncle, Wang Yi, possessed a venomous tongue and was exceedingly difficult to deal with; it seems those rumors are entirely true.

The tennis ball was struck by Lin Feng, its surface enveloped by a balanced interplay of black and white radiance resembling a Tai Chi disk.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and smiled faintly. His Heavens Dao scripture repository now contained numerous god-tier body-tempering techniques, such as Traversing the World. If he were to recultivate the Purifying Clear Realm using these mental cultivation methods, his future achievements would likely be even greater.

Right now, the Heaven-Mending Dao song chanted by Gu Chen truly felt like divine music, imparting an ethereal sense of epiphany to the listeners. Their minds grew as tranquil as a clear lake, all vexations vanished, and their entire bodies felt as warm as after a strenuous workout. The benefits gained were truly immeasurable.

From a considerable distance away, Zhang Mengxi pressed the electronic key of her car, and the scissor doors of the Ferrari Enzo suddenly swung open, looking incomparably cool.

If Quan Zimo had appeared by Gu Lingse's side the very moment the accident occurred, and if Gu Lingse had managed to find Quan Zimo right away, she would never have gone alone to the provincial bureau to find Zhuoyi, summon reinforcements, and rush to the primary scene of the accident.
